• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

I did the same thing. Is the part number referrenced the exact same part as stock or just an interchangable lever. I'd like to keep the clutch lever same as stock.

Yes Harder, I want a washable job too. I live 35Ks from Unifilter in Oz and have got a new paper filter coming so will take the old one to them and see if they want to add it to their not so small range. They have done one off's for me in the past but $$$$.

I bought a 2013 Terra and it already has SW Motech pannier racks. I am probably wrong but it looks like SW Motech only offers a soft bag. The racks are easy to take on and off the bike, and I would like a pannier that is also a snap to install or remove. Is there a truly waterproof soft bag or what hard pannier do you readers reccomend.

For the SW Motech Quicklock racks they sell adapters for virtually any hard pannier system on the market, have a browse through the SW Motech online shop. Their own hard panniers are the Trax line. I was pretty happy with them, but I have since switched to a soft pannier setup.
I don't particularly care about the waterproofness of my soft panniers, since I always use separate dry bags inside them. The soft panniers just need to be strong enough to handle the abuse I put them through. I went for the Adventure-spec Magadan bags and love themto bits, but they are expensive.
To go with a rack the Wolfman Expedition Dry bags, the Tetons and the Rocky Mountains will fit. Andy Strapz will work as well, just like Steel Pony bags. And there's many other options out there as well from Giantloop, Kriega, Ortlieb, ...
 
Soft bags, Wolfman Expedition Dry bags. Pricey but resilient and waterproof. Dirt Bagz soft bags if you don't mind packing things in waterproof bags to place inside the Dirt Bagz and they are very affordable..

Andy Strapz, his Explorer, soft bags with pannier racks specifically for TR & Strada - in my opinion the best on the market
